Today, I’ve reached the ripe old age of 27. I’m pass the age where my car insurance gets cheaper, and I’m officially a lao chee ko (dirty old man).

This year’s birthday pressies were quite profitable. My investment in my friends’ finally paid off in the form of good food and snazzy presents.

• Wireless keyboard and mouse (Logitech Cordless MX Duo).
• eyeToy and SingStar for my Ps2.
• Red boxing gloves.
• Cool t-shirt./li>
• Heavy photo frame/album./li>
• Money $$$!/li>
• Socks and CK briefs (people want to be my underwear, and touch me there, there and there).
• Sinfully delicious cheese cake.
• Tony Romas babyback ribs.
• Chocolate mud cake, extremely high in calories (would’ve killed Atkins).
• Nothing from my best friend Simon

I have not rewarded myself with a present yet. I’m looking at getting a plasma TV that’s exorbitantly priced. Still doing the cheap Asian routine, going to every store and haggling down the price, then going off and trying to get a better deal.

These things take time.
